"There is much excitement at Barcelona right now surrounding the return of Joao Cancelo. The Portuguese international has rejoined the club on a short-term loan deal and is likely to be unveiled soon as an official Barça player. However, Cancelo is only here until the end of the season, after which Barcelona may once again struggle with a lack of depth in the fullback department."
"While the club will certainly monitor the Portuguese international's performances during the second half of the season and make a decision on whether or not they should retain his services, the club are also looking at other options. Barcelona's priority is to avoid relying on the transfer market. Keeping that in mind, the club are looking at Hector Fort with much hope. The young right-back is currently on loan at Elche CF."
Joao Cancelo has rejoined Barcelona on a short-term loan and will remain until the end of the season, leaving potential fullback depth concerns afterward. Sporting director Deco plans to mitigate the risk of losing Cancelo by monitoring his performances and exploring internal options. Barcelona prioritizes avoiding the transfer market and is hopeful about Hector Fort, currently on loan at Elche, whose development was interrupted by injury. Bojan is responsible for overseeing all loaned players. The club will also track Jofre Torrents and other La Masia talents, with signing a new fullback next summer viewed as a last resort.
